Protecting Your Building from Physical Security Breaches

A properly designed and installed building security system will shield your facility, employees, and property/assets from theft or other physical breaches, while providing long-term reliability and uninterrupted protection. Additionally, the cost of a strong security system can potentially be offset by a reduction of building/property insurance costs.

As a building owner, there are critical questions that can help you analyze your facility’s capabilities to handle emergencies and physical security breaches.

1. Where are your facility’s security vulnerabilities? Are all potential entry points controlled and monitored?

2. Does your system capture video in areas where events are most likely to occur and at a resolution that will allow 100% identification of the individuals involved?

Is your video surveillance system giving you useful data about the activities in and around your facility? Proper design of video surveillance systems requires specialized expertise in placement/location, angles, zoom levels, light levels, and capture rate.

3. Are annual fees for software licensing or support weighing down your maintenance budget? When issues arise, are the responses prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient when addressing problems?

Proper response to security breaches depends completely on the location and type of devices utilized. Radius Systems has the expertise to provide you with the appropriate level of monitoring to protect your people and valuables. 24×7 monitoring allows for immediate police notification the moment a breach is detected.

5. Does your system properly address building egress and muster reporting in the event of a fire event?

In fire or other life safety emergency, a speedy evacuation ensures the safety of your building occupants. Properly designed lock hardware, fire code compliant interlocks, and remote mustering technology can help you account for each person in an instant when time is of the essence.
